			Extremely easy to kill with paired Harpoons. Paired Tornados is overkill.}}

The '''SF ''Astaroth''''' was a Shivan fighter spotted at the start of the [[Second Shivan Incursion]] in 2367, along with other ships such as the [[SC Rakshasa\|SC ''Rakshasa'']] and [[SF Mara\|SF ''Mara'']]. While the ''Astaroth'' exhibits a high top speed and good maneuverability, it was more notorious for having an extremely thin hit profile and equally thin hull and shields to match. ''Astaroth'' fighters are easily taken down by aspect-seeking missiles such as the [[GTM Harpoon]].

	{{comment\|''The Astaroth is similar to the [[SF Dragon\|Dragon]] in most respects, only more annoying. It has a ridiculously small target profile, the smallest of any ship in any FreeSpace game, and is fast, making it annoyingly difficult to deal with via primaries. Its best advantage though is that unlike the [[SF Manticore\|Manticore]] it can still manage a turn capable of preventing missile lock while at speed; the Astaroth's lower speed/~~manuverabilty~~ specs sum up to a greater total agility than the Manticore in a quirk of inertia. It also has a decent, though not impressive, amount of missiles to back up its lasers, unlike the Dragon.
